Tanking does not guarantee a good QB

But if you have a shot at getting a good QB you take it and live with the consequences lol.

Over half this board wouldn't want Allen if he were in this years draft, rightfully so because none of us knew his intangibles, work ethic and desire to win and get better.

Truth of the matter is with QB you just keep swinging until you get it right. 

That’s exactly how the Bills got Allen too. They kept swinging over the years until they struck liquid Gold

I hope the panthers lose every game the rest of the year 462-0. Any win would be devastating to the future of this franchise.

Nah competitive losses would be better. It’s hard to turn a fan base back in your favor if we continually get embarrassed beyond any hope or repair. I want a top quarterback out of this draft too. I just don’t want irreparable damage to our squad.

Were you not here for the 2010 season?

0% chance that happens.  When was the last time a team traded out of the top 5 and still got a qb?

Yep in that case we should just draft Levis at 2 if he is our guy. Honestly that might not even be a reach for him depending on the rest of the season.

Nothing guarantees anything, here’s some actual data.

# of super bowl winning QBs by pick in the past 20 years:

#1 - 3 Super Bowl Winning QBs

#10 - 1

#11 - 1

#18 - 1

#24 - 1

#32 - 1

#75 - 1

#88 - 1

#199 - 1

#227 - 1

The #1 pick has produced 3x more Super Bowl winning QBs than any other individual pick. Additionally, 3 other #1 overall picks, a #2 overall pick, and a #3 overall pick all played in Super Bowls over that same period and lost. 10 of the past 20 Super Bowls have featured at least one QB picked in the top 3 overall picks.

I looked at the similar stuff, and I agree.  While the #1 doesn't guarantee it, it helps.  There have also been plenty of other quality QBs in the top 15 picks.  Teams that pick #1 tend to have a TON of problems.  Just look at Jacksonville.  They have their "generational" talent at QB, then turn around and have to draft #1 again.  Sometimes, you just have a bad team, period.

The Panthers aren't there.  Sure, we're not a great team, but it's also because we have wiffed for years trying to replace Cam Newton.  But our OL is better.  Our defense is pretty good.  Our ST is MUCH better in years past.  We have CMC, when healthy, is one of the best in the league.  If we can improve our coaching, maybe not having a micromanager coach is the key, we could be a better bad team.

Then....crazy thought....if we manage to get the right coach and QB...  We could make some noise as soon as next year.  The Brady will retire, or just breakdown.  Atlanta still can't figure out it's QB situation.  The Saints are going to start aging out, and they still need a QB.  So (and this is a font sized 72 IF) if we can finally get our QB and coach squared away...I almost don't want to say it... =P

Perhaps we should draft qb, but intentionally tanking has never worked. The Dolphins were the last team to try it, and they still haven't made a playoff game.  

 

Of course, we are likely to get a high draft pick even if we don't tank, so this may be and likely is, an irrelevant conversation.  

The Colt went 53-33 with Luck and won four playoff games. They never went to the big game but I'd still say "Suck for Luck" worked out pretty well for them.

    • I think the same thing, they don’t have any better options especially since Christiansen is out for the year 
    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
